Borgarfjarðarhöfn is a charming little spot in Borgarfjörður Eystri, known for its large colony of puffins on a little hill by the harbour. This is one of my personal favorite spots for taking photos of puffins, you can walk on the pathways around the hill and even get close enough to look them in the eyes sometimes. If you are visiting Iceland in puffin season then this place should be near the top of your list!
